Formscan  - Proof relished heavy ground when successfully reverted to the minimum distance at Ffos Last most recently. The son of Zoustar turned that race into a procession and should be a key player if stepping back up to 6f doesn't detract from his finishing kick here. Nevertheless, he was well held by the third-placed BETTER AND BETTER when he finished last in a four-runner event over this trip at Ascot in July and Adrian Keatley's youngster looks good value to uphold that form. Nottingham winner Kesta completes the shortlist.
